Trip Notice !!!

Winter Walks

 
Next 'Winter Walk' this Saturday 28th August.
Hans Konlechner and Kevin Cousins will be looking after you this time. Rumour has it, they may be heading up around Warwicks Castle.
Phone Bryan Krijger on 7511449 or (027) 2070880 for more info.

 A series of basic walks led by experienced club members for those new to the white stuff and wanting to get out and reinforce the skills learnt on snowcraft.

 

They run every two weeks from 31 July, and will finish with the biggie – a slush summit in October.

 

For safety reasons, numbers on the walks will be limited to a 1 to 4 ratio. There will usually be two senior club members, so that will be a maximum of 8 newbies.

 

Prerequisites – Minimum of Snowcraft one or similar level of experience.

 

   

Phone Bryan Krijger on 7511449 to register.
